Wisconsin School Employee Makes Threatening Phone Call to Business for Selling Gas to GOPer
**Written by Doug Powers
Maybe the caller was only trying to make sure the pumps were clear in case any Wisconsin Senate fleebaggers needed to top off the tank for another escape to Illinois.
From WBAY-TV:
A Sheboygan gas station owner is baffled after a mystery caller tells a clerk it’s a bad idea to do business with a Sheboygan-area state senator.
It started Tuesday when a woman called Dick Hiers’s Northeast Standard gas station after she thought she saw Senator Joe Leibham there. Her call was caught on the answering machine.
[...]
The answering machine here in the back of the store was left on from the night before and was recording the entire conversation.Caller: “Can you verify that was Senator Leibham at the gas station this morning?”
Gas station clerk: “Senator Leibham?”
Caller: “Yes. Do you guys support him?”
Clerk: “I have nothing to say about that, I am not politically involved.”
Caller: “Alright, well you can tell Dick he’s not good for business, I’ll tell you that.”
Shocked over the 26-second conversation, Hiers quickly traced the call — only to get surprise number two.
“And it turned out to be coming from the Sheboygan area district school office,” he said.
“Obviously our school district equipment and the facilities are for the purposes of school,” Superintendent Joseph Sheehan responded. “Any type of phone call leaving any types of threats or condoning any type of intimidation is strictly prohibited.”
The superintendent, who was out of the area Friday, said the district’s taken what it calls “appropriate disciplinary action.”
The woman is a district employee but school officials say that 8:15 call was made before she was on the clock.
As it turns out, the person in question wasn’t even the Senator, but rather his brother — which according to established threat etiquette means the school employee should have instead had her sister make the call… at least I think that’s what the protocol should have been.
The school should check their records to see if there have been any calls made recently to an Iowa office supply company. Just curious.

But, but, but, it was….
For the children.
will she be calling the butcher, baker, and shoe maker next??
What children? Liberals generally aren’t having kids.
If the call was made before she clocked in that makes it OK?
*And that’s a good thing!
Announcer: “It’s 2210 A.D., in a world without liberals, and hardly a homosexual in sight, save for the island of Malta”; One can only dream!
I have a cousin who lives in Sheboygan. Now I know why she spent the extra $$$ to send her kids to private school, even though they aren’t rolling indough.
On April 22nd, 2011 at 10:33 pm,
Why do you think they work so hard to brainwash our kids to turn against us? They don’t consider it indoctrination. They consider it reproduction.
So, what qualifies as “appropriate disciplinary action?”
Did they scrape the Obama sticker off her Prius??
Anything short of firing is not appropriate-criminal charges should follow unless Caller is one of Eric Holder’s people of course.
May the Farce be with you!
“Alright, well you can tell Dick he’s not good for business”
hahaha… she said dick is not good for business. i’m not insinuating anything. just sayin’.
She received a stern talking to…no further action needed.
Not on the clock? Amazing how they can justify NOT taking stern action time and again. I’ll bet if a “GOPer” on the school payroll called someone a “homo” while “not on the clock,” that person would be out of a job, and probably black-listed.
It shouldn’t matter if she was on the clock or not. She used the district’s resources to make a political call. Doesn’t that woman have a cell phone for personal calls?
A true left-wing extremist would never use their own resources when they could appropriate someone else’s.
wow, what an idiot. doesn’t that woman have more important things to do than troll on a gas station?
That in itself is a good thing as long as abortion isn’t involved. The gene pool NEEDS to be purged of ‘useful idiots’. I know that sounds mean but innocent children shouldn’t be subjected to hatred, bigotry and stupidity of the liberal population.
Yes they say the same of us (as recently as a few days ago, right here) but they say it to shut down and control the discourse. Note the word control. This is what liberalism/marxism/communism is all about.
The union thugs are all about control as well. They shout down groups and destroy public and private property in tantrums that children in MY early years would have received a bright red a$$ as a result.
When Obama and his thieves stop bailing out union bosses and covering up their theft of union members dues to enrich themselves and elect their puppet politicians those union members are going to be pissed!
During the 2012 elections, it has already been threatened, unions will perform a nationwide ‘in your face’ opposition to politicians running against The Won. Screaming banshees from hell come to mind when I read things like this. Socialism didn’t work in this country in 1620 and it won’t work now.
*****************
Bust the unions, starve the money laundering arm of the socialist democrat party!
Is it time yet to indict Bernanke for lying about not monetizing the debt, under oath? If not now, when?
No blood for oil with your illegal war, Barry!
Who IS Barry Soetoro? (aka “Our Dear Son, Excellency, Baraka Hussein Abu Oumama” Mohamar Quadaffi) I refuse to allow Regulus to control my thoughts or speech.
Typical.Democrat.
Just your usual labor union thuggery. This is ramping up and will only get worse. We have to fight against this with all our might! ANYONE making any kind of calls like this should be arrested for making terrorist threats. This is not a freedom speech issue, it is a terrorism issue. Just think of the kind of mind-set that would come up with something like this. Threatening someone for allowing a political opponent to purchase something from his business. This is so off the wall crazy, it should be an anomaly. Unfortunately, it is becoming all too common.
But, But, But – Some Republican must have done something like his first, somewhere, er.. well er….Sarc on
I thought you found loons nesting in Minnesota this time of year. This one must have gotten off course somehow.
Give the lady a “do not do that again” for making the call. Give her a written reprimand for being STUPID!

Hello, Kentucky Fried Chicken? I wouldn’t be selling any more right wings if I were you!
Hello, Smith’s Home Improvement? I hear you make Conservative estimates! You’d better cut that out if you know what’s good for you!
good grief.
Why are we surprised at this behavior? Maybe we are not surprised, just marveling at the brazenness when it does occur, as it invariably does.
So filling stations are expected to have their customers fill out a questionnaire and show a birth certificate with picture ID before they can buy gas?
Buycott!
More proof that Liberalism is a mental disease. Doesn’t that stupid superintendent understand that even if that idiot wasn’t on the clock, that telephone is still being payed for by the taxpayers.
I love technology.
It’s impressive how childish these people are. None of this behavior solves any of our current problems. This is what passes for teacher behavior? Any wonder that schools haven’t solved the bullying problem. Our schools are run by bullies.
Excellent point. Like a true parasite they co-opt the resources of the host, even ‘stealing’ the offspring of the host. We haven’t realized it, but this parasite class enslaved us decades ago. We are only waking up to it now. We can see the panic in the left now, they know their days are numbered.
How insane are these lefties, conservatives aren’t allowed to buy gas now? Isn’t not being to conduct a business transaction one of the strategies of the beast?
Cain / West 2012 !
(or West / Cain I’m not going to be picky)
roflmao, you are SO lucky I wasn’t drinking coffee when I read that.
You know better than that. Only conservatives need to show ID. It is too much of a hardship for libs to have to do that, and would violate the Gas Buying Rights Act.
It was reported that hours after this phone call…they called again asking if their refrigerator was running and if they had Price Albert in a can.
yeah I misspelled. You get it though.
Two blacks on the same ticket? How cool would that be!! Would they call them “Uncle Toms”, or would they call everyone who didn’t vote for them “racist”? It would be an interesting scenario.
Liberal heads would be exploding all over the country.
No paperwork or ID needed. They just have to show their O mark.
These people aren’t even trying to hide what they are doing, they know nothing will happen to them for the threats. They can thank bho, trumka, holder, etc. for that. I am really getting to not like unions or their thugs!
L
Yeah, I’m rethinking my affection for thugs myself.
So if I threaten to blow up the school office building because it’s Saturday and I’m not at work it’s ok?
Hey be careful when you open the door Monday. You can never tell what’s going to happen.
I’m not an attorney but it seems to me that if they can link the school employee who made the call to coordinated union activity, this could be a gateway case for prosecuting the unions under the RICO statutes.
Clearly, a crime was committed here and the local school is involved. The number of suspects can’t be more than a handful of school employees, likely a teacher with a big mouth.
We’re going to have to RAISE CAIN! Literally. The RNC has their Romney game plan. The media will cooperate by keeping Herman off the TV. Radio and internet is going to have to fill the gap. The grassroots can get a conservative nominated IF they don’t scatter their votes. That’s why the RNC is getting so many people into the race.
When the union cops in Madison wouldn’t enforce the laws it should have been a clear indication of why public employee unions are a bad idea. Are the prosecutors union? Or just Democrats? Either way, the likelyhood of prosecution is nil.
When laws are enforced or not based on anything other than the law, everyone loses. We lose the sense of equal protection. That works corrosively against the very foundations of society.
I would vote for that ticket.
I was waiting for the punchline. That sounds like the intro to a Henny Youngman joke.
America is now Pakistan, isn’t that right, chap?
This is where you go to the school and execute a citizen’s arrest. You notify the police that you intend to do so and request their presence. Since the individual is known and is the process of being disciplined, take it the next step with a criminal complaint. Maybe you can let the person off with an apology or maybe the courts will demand it, but this is a criminal act.
This is called the Ayers Protocol. As in having your girlfriend make the bombs just in case there’s an accident.
The standard punishment for threats against conservatives is a round of high fives.
Can’ t be bothered with curtain climbers they just kill ‘em in the womb…no need for head start.
Mayor Bloomberg is on Fox News Sunday (4-24-2011) spouting the usual prog line. Total garbage on public sector unions, immigration and Obama’s place of birth. He would be as much of a disaster as POTUS as the current occupier.
I understand the purpose of not buying from someone with values opposite of yours, but not selling to them? That’s not logical. The money is better off in my pocketbook than theirs.
Between that and getting peanut butter prints on their BMWs and Lexuses.
A leftist threatening violence?
Whodathunkthat?

Why would they? It takes time and money to raise them. It’s so much easier to play yours against you by promising them the moon disguised as Hope and Change.
8:15 and not on the clock? The educators I hear from are always telling me that they work so many hours, they must be on the clock at that time.
Now, hold out your wrist.
Maybe we should just RICO the entire democrat party
You mean, kinda like the way illegal immigration laws are enforced? No ids, no asking questions, sanctuary cities, free health care, no assimilation, cutting in line of Swedish babes that want to come to America. That kind of selective enforcement?
Not to mention the Congressional Black Caucus.
Works for me. While you are at it, throw in the public sector unions for good measure.
In reply to the snarling savages who invaded the Madison, WI capitol grounds we can do these things: 1.) Boycott all products and services produced by American union members, and 2.) Withdraw your children from all public schools. Make those bolshevik thugs pay something.
